This was a choice, but also a threat.
Mr. Huo gave Song Xun an opportunity to speak up, or else his next words would definitely be explosive.
And he certainly didn’t take Shen Shuyi’s face into account.
Song Muyu’s mind was made up; she absolutely couldn’t let Huo Chenxi say anything more.
Otherwise, once the matter between her and Song Xun ca to light, it would probably cause a huge stir.
The entire Liancheng business circle would talk about it. Although they were not biological siblings, outsiders didn’t know that.
It was feared that once it was out, it would beco a scandal.
She personally didn’t care, but her parents definitely wouldn’t be happy.
Of course, Song Xun wouldn’t be happy either.
Because by choosing to be with Shen Shuyi today, he had already made up his mind.
The way the two of them had been before was nothing more than a fling, just like a pre-wedding treat.
Thinking of this, Song Muyu inwardly sneered, but she still wore a smile on her face.
She glanced at Song Xun.
Song Xun also glanced back at her, his gaze deep and distant.
"Song Xun, still not saying anything?" Huo Chenxi asked again.
"No need, he’s told in private!" Shen Shuyi suddenly said in a deep voice.
Huo Chenxi was taken aback, looking at Shen Shuyi with a skeptical expression.
Shen Shuyi didn’t even spare him a glance, and it was apparent she was very angry.
Angry that Huo Chenxi was sticking up for her.
At that mont, Song Xun frowned and glanced at Shen Shuyi.
He said coolly, "This is between Shuyi and . I’m sorry, you won’t get to hear it."
"You’ve refused!" Huo Chenxi was astounded.
He looked at Song Xun in disbelief.
Song Xun still had that icy look and indifferent deanor, as if he didn’t take Huo Chenxi’s threat seriously at all.
The veins on Huo Chenxi’s forehead throbbed, and the anger in his dark eyes burned even hotter.
But, the next second, he suddenly showed a look of epiphany, chuckled lightly, sowhat mysteriously.
Song Xun furrowed his brows again.
anwhile, the stunned emcee on stage also hurriedly spoke up, "That’s right, Mr. Huo. The groom, Mr. Song, is the reserved type of man who doesn’t like to talk about love and affection in such a setting. We should have the good sense to not pester him."
"Yes, I’ve figured out what you’re driving at," Huo Chenxi said with a slight smile. "Shuyi, today is your engagent, I wish you a happy marriage!"
"Thank you," said Shen Shuyi indifferently.
At that mont, Huo Chenxi turned to look at Song Muyu and said, "Miss Song, how about we go have a drink?"
Song Muyu glanced at Mrs. Song.
Mrs. Song nodded slightly.
Song Muyu’s heart skipped a beat before she said to Huo Chenxi, "Mr. Huo, please lead the way!"
In the end, Song Xun never declared his love for Shen Shuyi in front of everyone.
Shen Shuyi’s smile faded, clearly unhappy.
But Huo Chenxi’s fuss made the entire situation on stage very awkward.
Mr. and Mrs. Shen were also very angry, but since they were on stage, they couldn’t show too much of it.
The most infuriating thing was not Huo Chenxi’s drama.
Rather, it was clear to everyone that Song Xun never professed his love for Shen Shuyi from beginning to end.
It was then that Mr. Shen spoke up, "Song Xun, is it so hard to say you love our Shuyi?"
No one expected the bride’s father to speak up at this mont.
Just as Song Muyu had descended, and she and Huo Chenxi had yet to walk away,
Mr. Shen’s question imdiately made the whole scene even more awkward.
Shen Shuyi was also taken aback, unconsciously looking at her father and imperceptibly shaking her head.
But Mr. Shen turned a blind eye to this.
His daughter from the Shen Family loved in such a lowly manner, which made him very angry.
As the father of the bride, one is usually quite composed at such tis.
He didn’t want to stoop so low.
"Song Xun, today, if you don’t have a definitive answer in front of this assembly, then consider this engagent cancelled," Mr. Shen spoke with a deep voice.
"Ah!" The crowd was in uproar.
The host was also stunned and quickly took control of the situation.
"Mr. Song, it seems your father-in-law also wants to hear it, so why not just say it, it’s not embarrassing!" the host tried to persuade Song Xun.
But Song Xun’s eyes, sharp as an eagle’s, were so cold they could freeze frost and snow, yet he still didn’t speak.
Song Huaisan imdiately said in a heavy voice, "Song Xun!"
Mrs. Song was also anxious. "Song Xun, this isn’t difficult, just hurry up, what can’t a man say?"
Facing the urging of his parents, Song Xun remained unmoved.
His gaze cut through the crowd, landing on Song Muyu, who stood beside a pillar, with Huo Chenxi standing next to her.
Huo Chenxi’s face was full of provocation, his chin slightly raised, the smile on his lips carrying a hint of scorn.
And Song Muyu just looked at him calmly, her face expressionless.
Song Xun finally suppressed that unwillingness and anger.
Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed Shen Shuyi, forcefully pulling her into his embrace, lowering his head to kiss her lips.
"Hiss!"
The next second, the entire place erupted like thunder.
Song Xun kissed Shen Shuyi hard, his cold gaze devoid of any emotion. Like that, he fiercely kissed her for a full minute before letting her go.
He finally uttered that sentence. "Shuyi, your uncle also hopes to hear say ’I love you.’ It seems I have no way out today. Listen, Shen Shuyi, I, Song Xun, do not give my promises lightly. Since we are engaged today, I have chosen you. Unless you leave , I will not be the one to leave first."
He didn’t say he loved Shen Shuyi after all.
But his promise was that he wouldn’t be the first to say goodbye.
The aning was quite clear.
Song Muyu watched him kiss Shen Shuyi, her face turning pale.
The bride, shyly leaning into his embrace, was kissed so hard she could barely stand.
And such a promise, in Mr. Shen’s eyes, counted as reliable.
He finally eased his emotions, giving the Song Family a way to step down. "It’s good not to make promises lightly. It seems you’re truly reserved, and this is already your limit. We won’t press you anymore. The sweet nothings between you young ones can be saved for private," he said.
With this, Mrs. Shen nodded her head.
Song Huaisan and Mrs. Song both smiled a little.
And Shen Shuyi, kissed dizzy by Song Xun, still had weak knees at this mont and could only lean on Song Xun for support.
The host imdiately regained control of the event.
And Song Xun’s gaze turned toward Song Muyu.
She looked at him, giving a faint smile, her face even paler!
Qi Yun stepped forward, blocking Song Xun’s gaze, and with her back to him, said to Song Muyu, "Miss Song, let’s go sit over there for a while."
"I’ll borrow Miss Song for a mont," Huo Chenxi said. "I’m leaving now, how about you see out?"
"Leaving now?" Song Muyu raised her eyebrows slightly. "Mr. Huo, won’t you have a drink to celebrate before you go?"
"Seeing Shen Shuyi happy is enough!" Huo Chenxi said.
"You’ll be happy!" Song Muyu smiled lightly. "Let’s go, I’ll see Mr. Huo out."
She also wanted to know exactly what Huo Chenxi knew.
They finally reached the entrance of the hotel.
Huo Chenxi wanted to speak to Song Muyu alone.
Qi Yun had no choice but to follow at a distance.
Huo Chenxi said to Song Muyu, "Miss Song, the taste of cutting love with pain isn’t pleasant, is it?"
